Ronald Bailey, Reason Magazine December 12, 2006 by: S.R. Shearer INTRODUCTION Many Christians in the United States have heard the term "NEO-CONSERVATIVE" bantered about, but very few of them have any real understanding of what it means; they tend to associate the term with the Bush Administration and its policy of American Imperialism - a policy that envisions, as Robert Kaplan describes it, "American power as the organizing principle for the worldwide expansion of civil society." Naturally enough, most American Christians see this as a good thing, and in doing so, they tend to believe on a cursory level that the so-called "Neo-Conservatives" are their allies. But again, they're not exactly sure how or why they are, AND MOST ARE ABSOLUTELY UNAWARE THAT NEO-CONSERVATISM IS NOT JUST A SET OF SPECIFIC POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC POLICIES BEING PURSUED BY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION, BUT A PHILOSOPHY OF THINKING THAT AS SUCH IS ABSOLUTELY INIMICAL TO THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS CHRIST! The very real fact of the matter is, according to Shadia Drury - a well-known Canadian academician who has written extensively on Leo Strauss, the architect and creator, so to speak, of neo-conservatism - neo-conservatives have a very twisted view of religion and its utility insofar as the state is concerned: That while religion is absolutely essential in order to impose moral law on the masses, who otherwise would be out of control, it is a FARCE in and of itself - a "PIOUS FRAUD." Religion, Strauss maintained, was for the masses alone; the rulers need not be bound by it. As a result, neo-conservatives are, as Ronald Bailey, science correspondent for Reason Magazine points out, "... pro-religion even though they themselves are not believers."
